Nichts bleibt, wie es war.

Sometimes songs grow on you. And sometimes you hear a song and it becomes an instant favorite or earworm, as the Germans would say. This, as you can probably guess, has happened recently to me, and the song is "Bed of Lies" by Matchbox 20. It's just kind of beautiful. Ear-catching. Slow and melodic. I think I'm going to listen to it again right now. I just with that the lyrics were a little different. Maybe I'll change them.

So it's hot. I was in town doing a bunch of necessary crap before I leave, and it was sweaty hot. And there were disgusting, smelly middle-aged men. Gross. So far in the past few days, I've sent another box, closed my phone account, closed my bank account, done a lot of packing, turned in a paper, turned in some forms to AYF, picked up a Schein (proof that I took and passed a class), and other stuff. It's been busy lately.

"And there'll be no rest for these tired eyes."

It took me three hours to get to sleep last night. And then I only got about five hours of sleep. Grrr. I think there's a little stress in my life right now. Bah. Moving to a different country can't be that difficult. After all, I have done it once already.

I want to go watch the Simposon's Movie today. I hope I make it... and I plan to watch it in English. The Simpson's is not something overly enjoyable in German, although Lisa'a voice it pretty good.

Even though I really do want to see my friends and family aback at home, I really wish I could stay here. It's so depressing having to leave.

I still haven't deicided whether to book a hotel in Frankfurt for Sunday night or to go with the 5:52am train from Freiburg. I'd get to the airport around 8am (if all goes smoothly) and my flight is sometime around 10am. The Strassenbahn runs from my stop as early as 5:20am and takes about 5-10 minutes to get to the trainstation. I'd be saving 60 Euroes. What do you think I should do?

If I were you, I would go the safe way and stay at the motel, that way you pretty much know that there won't be any unforseeable events to postpone you getting to the airport on time. I can't wait to see you :)

hehe - reflecting on how your trip over you wanted to clear customs 4 hours before your flight. Now you're no worries about cutting it a bit tight...

For the record, it was 3 hours. And it was my first time ever doing that type of thing, after all.

I would stay in Frankfort, you should enjoy your last night in Germany. Not getting up so early and rushing around to make your flight. haha I remember when I was leaving to come back, I was running around the airport hoping to make it in time. I did have plenty of time but you don't want to stress. :) Miss you terribly!
